OIL BURNER.

Application filed February ating in a thoroughly satisfactory manner.

with a minimum consumption of fuel. l

with a stepped" disc havinga series oll concentric troughs or grooves perforated for the passage of air, the disc being incloscd l within a fitting having a plurality of rela.- tively large air-ducts connected with a central depending nipple having an open end through which the air is delivered downwardly against the Hamer-the air-ducts being spaced apart by a, cone-shaped detlector adapted to force the flame. outwardly bctween the air-ducts that air passing through said ducts may be heated before delivery to the burner. l

Another feature of the present invention consists in a plurality of arc-,shaped deflector blades supported on a central post and spaced from each other, the purpose of which is to` deflect the flame laterally toward the walls of`a furnace, stove or other installation.

. vW'iththe foregoing and other "objectsin View which will appear as the description proceeds the invention further resides in the 35 combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed itv being understood thatfchan'ges may be made in the precise embodinient of the inventionherein disclosed 40 Without 'departing from the spirit of the same. l p I A l In the drawings accompanying-this speci icationz' Figure 1 is a diagrammatic sectional elevation of the burner installed in a furnace i .showing the pipe connection between -the burner and the oil supply tank,also means 'for automatically cutting oil' .the delivery of oil to the burner undercertain conditions.

Referring now to the letters of reference placed upon the drawings:

A indicates diagralnmatically a furnace, ll its grate bars, Cone of ,the furnace doors, l) the usual uptake or smoke pipe. E is a- .fuel oi-l tank connected by a pipe Fv with the A burnerl (l. The burne'i' includes an annularV base plate ll having a cup-shaped depression Il:l with a central opening through which 'In 'extends the discharge end of a fu'cl pipe l", vtitted with suitable valves F and F lfor controlling the delivery of oil to a disc l secured at its outer edge to lugs h, extending.` upwardly from the bottom of the-cup-shaped depression.

l v'llhe disc'I is of stepped formation' and is provided with a plurality of concentric grooves i respectively formed in each of` the steps .and also` 'a series of perforations' 'sa 'l'.a for the passage of air thronoh the disc. J isa fitting supported'on the base H and held against displacement by' ribs vintegral with the base. The fitting J includes a plurality of air-passages Ja arranged in pairs surrounding the disc,-the 'respective pairs being at right angles. to the other in the form of acrosssee Figure 4-the passages being connected overhead with a cen# tral depending nipple Jl extending down- 9 wardly toward the stepped disc, but spaced therefrom that air delivered from the passages J8L may mingle with the fuel gases to l support combustion. Between `the walls of each of these air passages and integral there- *n withis a -cone-shaped baille plate J, designed to direct the flame between the air passages and toward 'the wall of the firepoty of the furnace. Mounted on the top of the tting J is Aa plate K nto which is screwed a rod L designed to support a plurality of adjustable arc-shaped baliie plates- M, held in spaced relation' by sleeves ,m on the. rod.

'15 stallations.'

plate ltd which rests upon the grate bars surrounding the burner against/th passage of air through' the grate bars outside of, the walls of the burner.

It has been found 'in practice that after the moisture has left the sand or like filling the llatter separates from the wall of the burner leaving an opening for air currents between the latter and the filling.

The inclined ange serves to direct the 3o loose sand toward the Wallof the base plate of the oil delivered to and thereby maintains a sealed joint between the same. P is a return pipe, opening into the central cup-shaped depression Ha of the base 35 Aplate H, and lEI is a suitable automaticvalve,

. diagrammatically indicated, on thepipe line F, provided with a link /iifrom which is suspended a bucket Q to receive any oil which maybe discharged from the pip'e.

It shouldnow be explained that in the event of theiiame being extinguished or the burner flooded with oil, the latter will flow through the the bucket Q, suspended from a weighted arm of the valve Fc which will be thus automatically closed against further delivery of oil to the burner assoon as the weight the bucket is sucie'nt to actuate the weighted arm of the automatic valve.

To lightthe burner the valves' Faand -Fb are first opened` to permit the delivery of a small quantity of oil to the disc I, which is then ignited;.-the volume of oil delivered to the disc being regulated by the adjustifient of the valves until a flame of propersize is developed. The burner then requires no further attention, lbut if through accident the Haine is extinguished land .the burner becomes flooded promptly cut olf further ,delivery of oil to the burner, in the manner previously indicated, i
